  1. In Urban's last Ohio State offense, his quarterback threw for 4800 yards and 50 TDs. His on-field coaching issues at Ohio State were due to nepotism-- retaining Zach Smith and Bill Davis-- and an almost insane level of trust and loyalty to guys whose units weren't producing (Tim Beck/Ed Warinner, Greg Schiano/Alex Grinch). Really, some of those Ohio State teams that won all but one or two games and spent all year in the Top Ten still had Greg Davis-level WTF problems-- like why the 2015 team struggled to move the ball/put points on the board, or why the 2018 team probably gave up more 70+ yd TDs in one year than in the rest of program history combined (I don't know if that's actually true, and don't really care-- it seemed like it). The main difference between Meyer's Ohio State and Greg Davis-era Texas is that Ohio State won 90% of its games and didn't get shit-stomped by its arch-rival on an annual basis. I have no qualms about hiring Meyer here but his tendency towards staff blind spots is a concern, something to keep an eye on.
  2. why don't you turn rep and reply notifications off, then?
  3. you guys totally wouldn't hate this cocky prima donna douchebag if he didn't go to OU!
  4. keep in mind also that the definition of "white supremacist", in most of our lifetimes, has gone from "a person who believes in the inherent genetic supremacy of the white race" to "someone who dares to argue against Critical Race Theory". I would like to see the research confirming even a measurable amount, let alone a significant portion or majority, of the client base is "white supremacist".
  5. ...and how we'll try to win at all costs, unlike Texas A&M which does things the right way
  6. fast forward eats the tape! fast forward eats the fuckin' TAPE!!!
  7. yeah I don't really understand how "we have to cancel a game/a couple of games/half the games because some players tested positive for COVID" is somehow worse than "let's just cancel the whole season without even trying to play" actually I understand it perfectly given who its coming from

  9. one, I know it's comforting to think everyone thinks the way you do, but "the world" is very much not in agreement what the problem is, what the best solution is, or what the appropriate response in the moment is two, you can broad-brush motte-and-bailey it all you want, the issue is not that some people are just hunky-dory with or in favor of "discrimination"
  10. he's had it for forty years though he only decided to release it into the world late last year
  11. this needs to be better understood this season is a lost cause, even if we win out. we lose nothing by jettisoning Herman, getting to work immediately on the hiring process, and signaling to recruits and their coaches and their uncles that we are making fundamental changes the worst-case scenario would be, whatever the worst performance that would guarantee Herman's return in 2021. if four more wins is enough to bring him back, that's the worst thing that could happen, worse than losing out (which would presumably get him fired). If winning out is the only thing that would bring him back, then I hope we lose immediately so we can make the change.
  12. "Oh, I thought for the first time ever in any game I've been associated with in four years where the band was present, they were going to fuck off instead of playing The Eyes. Whoops! Whoopsie!"
  13. my opinion is fact! GRAAAAAAH
